Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≎ has the Unicode code point U+224E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+224E to binary:
00100010 01001110. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10001001 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+224E, "GEOMETRICALLY EQUIVALENT TO," is a symbol used in mathematical expressions to indicate that two mathematical expressions are equivalent in shape or form. It's typically employed in digital text, especially in mathematics and technical writing, to denote the visual similarity of two distinct yet geometrically equal expressions. This character can be found in Unicode version 13.0 (2020) and beyond. While its usage is quite specific, it serves as a crucial tool for clarity and precision in certain mathematical contexts.
